How do you find the x and y intercepts of the line with equation x = - 3?

The x-intercept is the value of $x$ $x$ when $y = 0$ $y=0$
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ since $x = - 3$ $x=-3$ for all values of $y$ $y$
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ the x-intercept is $(- 3)$ $(-3)$

The y-intercept is the value of $y$ $y$ when $x = 0$ $x=0$
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ but $x$ $x$ is never equal to $0$ $0$
$XXXX$ $color(white)("XXXX")$ therefore there is no y-intercept
